When Elijah, who has autism, started Easterseals Speech Therapy, he had very few words in his vocabulary and now he is speaking 10 to 20 words in short sentences.

Easterseals Camp Fairlee, which kicks off in a few weeks, is a place where children and adults, like Jake can grow as individuals, make lifelong connections, and find independence. Jake is able to soar on a zip line, sing his heart out in “Fairlee’s Got Talent” and savor new foods in a safe and nurturing environment. Meanwhile, his parents, Jen and Frank, get the break they need.

Running and jumping are a rite of passage for most children, but sometimes they need some extra help reaching those milestones. That is where Easterseals Children’s Therapy Services steps in to give children, like Alex, an extra boost.
